Epic reviews

Work life balance, expectation is around 45 hours a week, but to really keep up with your work, it's more like 50+. Often times I work weekends and nights to keep up. Not good at making sure employees have engaging work, often times feels like we're doing processes to check boxes rather than something important. Doesn't feel like management listens to it's employees. Epic prides itself on being employee owned and private, but honestly feels worse when it comes to employee input than public companies. Behind the curve on COVID response, doesn't seem to factor in employee input into decision making. They were slow to allow employees to WFH and they are pushing folks to come back to campus over the next couple of months. Upper management doesn't seem down to earth. There was a fiasco last month where upper management sent and email to the people of color and diversity email groups saying to not to do a walk out, there are good police officers, etc. Which is not great for obvious reasons.

* COVID-19 response. Epic is bringing people back to campus (see advice to management for my thoughts on this). Almost all customer-facing and development roles could be done remotely anyways, so this is a reckless/dangerous decision justified as “preserving our culture.” * If you aren’t meeting expectations, you’ll be overwhelmed and you’ll probably have a bad experience. I’ve seen smart employees leave because they couldn’t keep up with the relentlessly high expectations for growth. * The expectation is that you work 45 hours per week. That’s not terrible, but to get ahead/exceed expectations you’ll be expected to work 50+. No matter what, you’re expected to take on more and more work every year to constantly “challenge yourself” which leads to employee burnout.
